### Talks Lineup

#### First Talk

Speaker: Paulo Rego, Director of IT, Municipality of Abrantes
Language: Portuguese
Title: MongoDB in Abrantes: A Reliable and Flexible Partner for Over a Decade!
Abstract: "At the beginning of its digital transformation journey, more than 15 years ago, the Municipality of Abrantes was searching for a robust and flexible solution to preserve the digital information produced daily—one that would also comply with archival science principles. That’s when they discovered MongoDB: an open and powerful tool that won the team over with its performance and practicality.
This encounter led to a solid partnership that continues to this day, earning the respect of everyone who has worked with it—even in higher education, where it has been introduced as a data persistence tool.
With MongoDB, we preserve our History, shape the Present, and envision the Future!"

But you only grasp its real flexibility (and performance) when clients use it for things no one expected. In 30 minutes, I’ll share a few real-world stories where MongoDB became the unexpected answer, why it worked, and how it quietly fit into AWS architectures without tons of glue code.
